I don't have the slightest issue with what you describe; what I do have a very real issue with is an author seemingly going out of his way to "demonise" a group of "real" people. These books (which I bought both of) appear to me to be quite deliberately setting out to incite hatred and fear of Islam. I can see no redeeming feature whatsoever in them. As has been said already, had their "target" been Jews or black people, I very much doubt that Baen would have touched them with a barge-pole, but seemingly it's "OK" to incite hatred against Muslims.
